Competition : Evo Stik Northern Premier League
Result : P-P
Attendance : None Available
The Matlock Town v FC United Of Manchester clash was called off at 09.30 that morning, due to a waterlogged pitch. This didn't deter us from making that planned visit to Causeway Lane, with the intention of photographing the outside of the ground at what would have been time to kick off. Fortunately, we bumped into Matlock Town secretary, Keith Brown who gave us permission to spend time inside the ground, photographing the empty stadium on what should have been a healthy sized crowd, especially with a great number of FCUM supporters making the journey into Derbyshire. The rearranged fixture date has been set to Wednesday 06 March 2013, with a 19.45 kick off.

St Giles' Church, situated on Church Street, Matlock. The grey, damp weather and low clouds shroud the landscape beyond Causeway Lane. The pools of standing water on the playing surface evident this it was the correct decision to postpone the match
Even divine intervention couldn't halt the rain falling down on Matlock Town this day. The imposing St Giles' Church looks down on Causeway Lane. The bare trees adding a sense of loneliness to what would have been quite possibly, Matlock Town's highest home attendance in the EvoStik NPL this season.
The following show the landscapes beyond Matlock Town..
The mist and rain add to the desolate atmosphere. We're looking forward to covering a Matlock Town home match during the summer/autumn months next season.
The gate is open, but the attendance board shows nothing.
